Stanley Walkuski Obituary
Stanley A. Walkuski, Jr., 81, a lifelong resident of Stamford, passed away on November 12, 2025. Born on August 3, 1944, to the late Stanley A.

Stanley was a kind and nice person that never had a bad thing to say about anything or anyone. He was one of the kids that played and hung around the bleachers at Belltown Park with the rest of us. May he rest in peace!
